[status] As of 1134 15-11-21 UTC: Left Savusavu early Saturday afternoon (local time) for Opua. Had to sail close reach into Koro Sea chop. Very rough. We had to keep ducking down when we poked our heads out from the back of the pilothouse as huge amounts of water crashed into the bow and flew back to the stern. At least the decks are getting clean! We got drenched a few times. Beth lost her cookies. But we're moving fast and once we got out of the Koro Sea, the waves smoothed out some.
